In this heartfelt and powerful episode of I Want Her Shoes Podcast, host Anna Anisin sits down with Rhapsodi Pierre-Jacques — certified career transition coach, leadership development consultant, and founder of HerKind, a curated membership community for high-achieving Black women seeking deeper connection in fast-paced cities. With a background in organizational psychology and over 15 years of experience across corporate giants, startups, and coaching programs, Rhapsodi has seen the behind-the-scenes pressures women of color face in spaces not designed for their success. Now, she’s creating new ones — through HerKind’s elegant, high-touch events and transformative coaching programs, designed to help women unlock their Distinctive Power, advocate for themselves, and lead from a place of truth, not performance. Together, Anna and Rhapsodi explore the nuances of leadership, motherhood, community, and what it means to feel truly poured into when you’re used to pouring into everyone else. 👠 Key Moments: -How HerKind is creating space for ambitious Black women to connect, unmask, and belong -The internal blocks that keep women from asking for more — and how to break them -What “Distinctive Power” looks like in action -Coaching through self-sabotage, burnout, and identity shifts -How motherhood reshaped Rhapsodi’s leadership lens -Why high-achieving women need more than a networking group — they need a container for care -The difference between career “success” and real alignment -Advice for women navigating transitions, craving clarity, or seeking sisterhood 🎧 Tune in now for a rich, soul-nourishing conversation that will leave you feeling seen, supported, and reminded that belonging is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
